What’s important to the farmer when it comes to crop production? Getting things done. That’s why River Valley Cooperative’s agronomy experts spend most of their time in the country throughout eastern Iowa and western Illinois, working one-on-one with growers.

Whether you need gasoline to keep you rolling, propane to keep you warm or dry your crops, lubricants and oils to keep your machinery running efficiently, or diesel to run your farm equipment, River Valley Cooperative has you covered.

Our motto of “Your Success, Our Future” extends to our employees. We firmly believe our employees are the key to our success. We provide personal and team development opportunities to give our employees the skills and tools they need to do their job and thrive in their job and personal life.

If I had to summarize the 2018 growing season in the Midwest, one word comes to mind: wet. In my area, we saw almost 60 inches of rain from planting to harvest, which is double the average that we’d normally get in Iowa. As you can imagine, keeping nitrogen in the root...

We're Connected to Our Communities

We have a strong attachment and are heavily engaged with those communities we operate in. River Valley Cooperative has 250 full-time employees and another 50-70 part-time employees during our busy spring and fall seasons. These are good paying jobs with benefits for families in our rural communities. Many of our employees are involved in local community activities serving on town councils, school boards, fire departments, and as EMTs providing medical support in our communities. Many, along with their families, are also actively engaged in school and local activities that benefit the communities that they live in.

Caring For The Land

River Valley Cooperative has a strong stance, as many of our customers do, on wanting to do the right things for our soils, our water, and our communities. We work with our customers, whether it be with the livestock that they take care of or the crop production products that they use on their land, to make good choices. We provide precision ag programs, which include soil sampling. We like to call it by the square foot rather than by the field, but it allows customers to work with prescriptions that best fit the parts of the fields that require nutrients and for maintenance of growing a good crop without being excessive in what they do. Our farmer customers do a really good job of balancing that.

Our Mission Statement

River Valley Cooperative is dedicated to delivering personalized services and expert solutions that enhance and ensure the long-term viability of our customer-owners, employees and communities.
